Double-hand Poker is a current game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the western in a great game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that players play with other players. By competing against the dealer, new players do not need to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable people taking their money.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game play, newcomers will be able to take their time and plan without having to make quick decisions.
It is also easier to gamble on for an extended time with basically a small amount of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the house gets 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
